KNOWLESVILLE – Visitors attending the 2026 Orleans County 4-H Fair will have a new and convenient way to travel between the general parking area and the fairgrounds.

Thanks to the generosity of American Legion Houseman-Tanner Post 1603, a tram will be available to transport fairgoers to and from the Taylor Hill Road parking lot and the main fairgrounds. The new service is intended to make arrival and departure easier and more comfortable for families, older adults, and anyone who may need a little extra help getting between their vehicle and the fair.

GO ART! will staff the tram daily from 4 to 8 p.m., with trips approximately every 15 minutes. During other fair hours, tram service will be available upon request.

All general visitor parking will be located in the Taylor Hill Road parking lot. The tram will travel through the lot and pick up and drop off passengers along every other parking row. On the fairgrounds, passengers will be picked up and dropped off near the green bathroom.

Parking on Wood Road will be limited to exhibitors and their families. General fair visitors should plan to enter and park using the Taylor Hill Road lot and follow the directions of parking attendants and posted signs.

A limited number of wheelchairs, wagons and strollers will also be available to sign out free of charge from the Sensory Room located in the Education Center. Transportation assistance devices will be available on a first come, first served basis and should be returned after use so they remain available for other fairgoers.

The Orleans County 4-H Fair is grateful to American Legion Houseman-Tanner Post 1603 for providing the tram and to GO ART! for helping staff this new service. Their support will help make the fairgrounds more welcoming and accessible for everyone.

The 2026 Orleans County 4-H Fair will take place July 27 through Aug. 1 at the Orleans County 4-H Fairgrounds.
